Planned Control Burns in Denneoord Area – Wednesday, 22 October and Thursday, 23 October
George Fire and Rescue Services will conduct controlled burns above Denneoord on Wednesday and Thursday this week, weather permitting.
The burns form part of the Kat River Alien Vegetation Management Project, aimed at reducing fuel loads such as dead leaves, branches, and other debris to help prevent the rapid spread of wildfires. Removing invasive alien vegetation also supports water security by improving water flow and storage in the Garden Route Dam.
Control burns are carefully scheduled based on favourable weather conditions to ensure safety and effectiveness. The Municipality thanks residents for their understanding and cooperation during this important environmental management activity.
